Problem/Motivation

Version 7.x-3.10 is marked as unsupported and creates unnecessary warning/alarm on the /admin/reports/updates page.

Steps to reproduce

goto /admin/reports/updates

Proposed resolution

The 7.x-version of this module has never had any security issue/update during its lifetime since 2010. Please leave support flag on until the end of support for Drupal 7 core!

Support for drupal 7 modules cannot be enabled again. We will have to move this module to d7security to continue support there.

Thx, that would be greatly appreciated by me and the 71,259 Websites that use this version of the module at this time!
In what timeframe do you think this could be done?

Thanks a lot for the swift move of the module to d7security - it works like a charm - what a relief!

FYI: it seems the instructions on https://www.d7security.org/docs/general-information/user-guide should be updated to the 7.x-1.2 version of the d7security_client module.

I am not sure why the 7.x-3.x branch became unsupported and unfortunately, I have not received any notice/email about this to give me the opportunity to do something (I have to say that I worked on initiating a D8 version of the module and never touched it since that time).

I have updated the project description with the new process for D7.

Nice, thanks a lot!

I'll assign issue credits for the 3 of us for reporting and resolving this, I hope that is ok!

Ah, looks like issue credits can only be assigned by maintainers here. I probably see the checkboxes because I'm a project admin, but can't set them.

Anyway, if you want you can set issue credits for appreciating the work :)

@vbouchet Thx for the update - I had been wondering how this came about, since the 7.x-version never had any security issue - mysterious still - care to investigate (a little)?
